As He continues to show up in my life, I begin to believe He really cares. I realize He dreamed me, designed me, and made me. I already belong to Him. I just have to say “yes” to letting Him love me. There is some resistance, some fear, but over time, I begin to trust Him when He says He will never leave me or hurt me. He will never change His mind about me. All I have to do is say “yes”.

In the stillness He comes. I never know when He will come. I just suddenly realize He is there, and He looks at me with tender eyes,a gentle smile on His face.Without words, I hear“Just say ‘yes’ to Me.” And I do. “Yes” to relationship. “Yes” to love. “Yes” to doing whatever He asks. “Yes” to being one with Him.

Jesus wants us to move into a more intimate relationship with Him. He is overwhelmingly in love with each of us. He’s just waiting for our “yes”.

“The Lord is so anxious that we should desire Him and strive after His companionship that He calls us ceaselessly, time after time, to approach Him. . .” – Teresa of Avila
